Reposted by Marc DavisonJohn Keeling @fullersjohn.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Here’s a list of pubs with vintage ale on tap. Pouring from midweek next week. @rogerprotz.bsky.social asked me to do this because he is currently locked out of Bluesky 32610
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Can you imagine the hissy fit/temper tantrum Kemi will be having right now over this 000
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Captain Smiths and Lifeboat along with the original stout cask or bottle conditioned were always my favourites. 100
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It's all the quality control I did on their beers back in the 90s that kept titanic going all this time. Think my bar tab was always larger than my wage packet. 110
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 04/10/202628 foggy miles done. Back home to a cooked breakfast. Nice start to the day. 130
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Stunning views this morning, if grey is your palette 020
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Opened a walnut fruit to show Vicky the nut inside earlier when we were out at a national trust place. I now look like I've smoked 60 woodbines a day all my life. 030
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 03/10/2026yeah I should probably just stop pissing around with supermarket beers and pay a trip to the flower pots brewery shop for some local brews. 110
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Last one. And maybe it's my messed up taste buds but bland again. Not much in the way of hops or anything. Out of those 4 the only one I would get again is ironically the cheapest and the weakest, the nitro stout. There's a cider a lager and a 3.2% bitter to try still. My money is on the cider. 000
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Definitely seems to be the case, nothing especially wrong with them but just a bit meh too. So far from what I've tried the stout is the best of the range. 110
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Next up Asquith Keep Rollin' not really a beer in my preferred styles but this one's ok which I think is because again it's a bit on the bland side and not overly hoppy. 100
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Next up Kirkstall brewed break the cycle and it's an ok beer but it's also just a bit bland. 010
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Hmm actually it's nice enough but just a little on the thin side compared to some of the stouts it's competing against. 100
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Asdas new siren brewed stout. Nice and drinkable like pretty much all nitro stouts. 5 quid for 4 so you can't really complain. 100
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Costco Oktoberfest box done. Bit of a shame it seems to have been identical to last year, a few beers did seem a little better than last time but it's very hit and miss. Let's see how lidl compares given it's from the same company. 100
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 02/10/2026you could get a whole bike for that 😆 Assume these are for the gravel bike? I dont know how I feel about deep/aero wheels on Gravel 210
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 01/10/2026yeah, it's like the wild west. I think I would look at going via an electricity provider, I'd see what Octopus could do. 111
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Well it turns out, that none of those options is available. There's a Stille Nacht that I am saving. But Christmas has come early it would seem. 2025 Golden Carolus Christmas and it's mighty fine. 010
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Sadly the beer fridge is looking a little sparse until it gets a restock when we head to Bruges in December. 010
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 30/09/2026School boy error. if you start on a Kasteel donker. Where do you go next. 320
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I was very tempted to open a Christmas beer tonight for some reason... I did manage to resist for now 061
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 30/09/2026If you have ever felt that Car Dealers arent great at dealing with issues and Warranty claims etc, do not ever buy a motorhome. Have quite a serious issue with a 1.5 year old van and honestly the dealer response over the last few months has been erm, lacking at best. 011
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 28/09/2026dont think I've used my perfectdraft for about 4 years. Problem with the kegs is that unless you are having people over all the time thats alot of the same beer to get through. 110
Reposted by Marc DavisonTony Pollard @tonypollard.bsky.social · 27/09/2026A long journey home and it’s good to be back. Thinking of my friends & students in Kyiv who don’t have the privilege of having home as a safe space. Keeping my air alert app active for a while as a reminder of what they are living through. Here’s a snapshot from this Sunday afternoon. Slava Ukraini. 0227
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 27/09/2026An earned beer and it's going down a treat. Big ride, big chunk of gardening done. Now taking shelter at the bar as the weather has arrived. 000
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Yeah I'm not too bad with wasp stings. Got stung under my watch strap on holiday aswell. Can't remember the last time before that 010
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Yeah I've been gardening since I got back. Much to the chickens delight as they have loads of new mulched cuttings to root through 010
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 27/09/2026And I got stung on the side of my head by a wasp that got stuck in my helmet. 100
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 27/09/202639 quite tough miles on what turned out to be a bit of a disappointing route, but that's just one of those things when exploring. www.komoot.com/tour/3312498... 230
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Done it again and over dressed for a ride. It is toasty and I have a base layer and winter boots on 🤣🤣🤣 020
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Looks like this year's Costco set is pretty much the same as last year's which is a shame. No sign of one from Lidl this year. But always nice to have a Marzen or any German beer for a change. 020
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 26/09/2026A successful day. Pet food shop. Grocery shop, Costco and somehow wangled a couple of beers at pig brewery tap in the new forest on the way home and now starting the Costco oktoberfest beers. Pig Dark was very nice as was Pig Simcoe. 020
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Saw these lastnight and wondered what they were all about. Some of them seem worth a try. 000
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Both chickens now laying. my new egg based diet will be starting 😄 also double yolker this morning which is always a nice treat. 020
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 22/09/2026@craftbeerchannel.bsky.social look whats arrived. New book day 1112
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 20/09/2026The original bottle conditioned titanic stout in the 90s was superb. Plum porters ok and the stronger versions they release as special editions are pretty good too. 010
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Do like the @planetrockradio.bsky.social longplayer on a Sunday and no idea why but UFO love to love live really is a great track open.spotify.com/track/46HeuR... not a massive UFO fan but such a great live track.open.spotify.comLove to Love - LiveUFO · Strangers in the Night (Live) [2008 Remaster] · Song · 1979 000
Marc Davison @marccdavison.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Ending my Sainsbury's 4 for 7.50 porters and stouts Sunday with two badger beers of which the one they brew for Sainsbury's is definitely my preference. 030
